TRUMBULL, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Audio Expo North America (AXPONA), announced today that John Hamm, CEO
of PonoMusic, will be presenting at the 2014 event in Chicago on April
25 at 6:00 p.m.

PonoMusic, the brainchild of singer-songwriter Neil Young, is focused on
its mission of allowing listeners to experience music the way artists
created it – at the recording resolution the artist originally chose in
the studio. PonoMusic is both an online music store and playback device
offering the highest-resolution digital music. The project is being
funded by a Kickstarter
campaign which launched on March 11 with a goal of $800,000. As of
April 1, more than $5.2 million has been raised.

Following Hamm’s presentation, a question-and-answer session will be
held, giving audience members a chance to learn more about this unique
digital music experience.

“We are thrilled to be able to add this presentation to our event,” said
Liz Miller, AXPONA’s conference director. “With the overwhelming success
of PonoMusic’s Kickstarter campaign and the intense interest and
curiosity of music fans, artists and audiophiles worldwide, we are
excited to provide our audience with access to information right from
the source.”

John Hamm is a highly regarded organizational leader, entrepreneur and
investor in Silicon Valley, with involvement at companies such as
Adaptec, IronPort, Brocade, IBM and Western Digital. A music lover and
audiophile, he worked as an audio engineer early in his career and is
currently a Board Member of the Grammy Foundation. John has also
authored a book on leadership entitled "Unusually Excellent."
